tribute to a chief...FINISHED!

So... the tribal shields and masks are complete. The 5th grade did a very nice job making these bad boys look authentic....





We are now currently working on the performance art piece. I was nervous to introduce this part of the lesson. We looked at the blue man group (which the kids loved when I pulled up youtube) versus the Nutcracker. I was unsure if the kids were going to be able to understand the difference and point of performance art. But to my surprise, they understood beautifully and are creating some really neat performances.

  2. Thanks SO much! These masks/shields took 3-4 55 minute class periods! One day to research, design, sketch. 2-3 to draw, paint, and add details!
